.-*-.The Vulpex.-*-.
« on: July 04, 2013, 12:58:56 pm »
The Vulpex are uncommon, and are quite a spectacle when one is spotted. They are trained predators, and can track a fly through the rain if need be. The female's enhanced senses are different from the males:
Female: Scent, sight, and thought
Male: Touch, hearing, and taste

The females are the hunters and clever minds behind the rare occurrence of a Vulpack, or Vulpex pack. In this species, packs are rarely formed. The Vulpex don't feel the need for bonds with others of their kind, or any other kind at all. When a pack is formed, it is ruled by the females and often  contains no males at all. The reason for this is that the species is separated, with the males living in one corner of FeralHeart, and the females in another.

Appearance and Build:

The Vulpex are similar to felines, despite sometimes living in a pack. On each paw they have five raptor-like claws, and only the front claws are retractable. Depending on where they live and their gender, they can grow extremely thick coats, which quickly become matted and are near impossible to penetrate with normal claws or teeth. Other Vulpex are able to easily slash through this coat with their talons, though it is often just to shear and not harm the Vulpex. The males are very bulky, and the females are lean and thin. Vulpex do not often have many markings, and are usually brown, black, gray or tan colored. Their eyes are usually shades of yellow or dark green, but can be entirely black as well. Their teeth are actually barbed, and point backwards slightly, enabling them to bite once and not loose their grip. Their tails are long at birth, but some will actually have their tails cut off so that it won't get in the way of hunting or running.

Habitat:

Males usually live in Southpole, growing extremely long coats and shearing them in summer, when they migrate to Atlantis. One male will usually have it's own territory, though no one knows what they use it for since they steal prey from other hunters. They are very aggressive to anyone and anything that enters their range, even female Vulpex, making it extremely rare for young Vulpex to be born.

Females live alone or in small groups of 2-3, and on rare occasion can be seen as a whole pack. The females do not grow thick coats, and are extremely light on their feet because of this. Normally living in Fluorite Plains or Cape of Distant Worlds, they can and often do practice jumping into small trees. The females often all know each other, and love to race each other. The females do hunt for themselves, though it is not much of a chore due to their incredible speed. They cannot however, fight as strongly as a male Vulpex, and need to take several minutes to kill anything. The females often have Saber-like teeth.

Prey:

The normal prey of Vulpex does not change really, and males will eat just about anything they find dead. Here's what's normally on the menu:
-caribou
-deer
-rabbits
-domestic cats
-domestic dogs
-small wolves
-small lions
-any type of egg(dragon, bird, fish, etc.)
-low-flying birds(low flying is anything below 20meters)
-fish
-the occasional alligator
-bears

Females often hunt more than once a day, since so much energy is expended on running.
